Not that I'd ever encourage anybody to get wasted out of their minds, but this is pretty cool. Preview . . .
Question: What is Calorie to Alcohol Ratio?
Answer: Calorie to Alcohol Ratio is derived by taking the calories in 12 ounces of an alcoholic beverage and dividing it by the alcoholic content (ABV). For instance a 12 oz Budweiser contains 145 calories and contains 5.0% alcohol. If you divide 145 by 5 you get a ratio of 29. Mike's Hard Lemonade also contains 5.0% alcohol but has 235 calories. 235 / 5 = a score of 47 which is not desirable. Unless you are a trying to meet Chris Hansen of Dateline NBC in person you probably shouldn't be buying that crap anyway!
Question: How is the price calculated?
Answer: Let's use the 80 proof Vodka example:
- $9.99 for 1.75 liter (price taken from national grocery store chain)
- 1.75 liter = 59.17 ounces
- 59.17 x 40% (alcohol content) = 23.67 ounces pure alcohol
- $9.99 / 23.67 oz = $0.422 per ounce of pure alcohol
Question: Your calorie information does not match what I find on some popular websites that list calorie information. Why is that?
Answer: Mostly because these sites are inaccurate! Whenever possible GDNF contacts the manufacturer directly to get the calorie and ABV information to ensure accuracy.
